I think my favorite random t-shirt I’ve seen is “this is what a gay clarinet player looks like. I’m not a gay clarinet player, I just really look like one”

There is a really easy trick to tell alligators and crocodiles apart: one sees you later, and the other sees you after a while.

My friend had a shirt that said, "I was born in February, so think twice before yelling at me. If I'm a Pisces I'll start crying, but if I'm an Aquarius it will just make me hornier." And of course hornier was in bold and the fanciest scrawling font you can imagine. And my friend was born in September

2:33 Saying you're an asskicking editor with no filter while simultaneously sensoring the word "asskicking" is so fucking funny

There's something uniquely American about wearing a cheap t shirt with several lines of text claiming that you wear a bunch of luxury accessories.

"You Raise Me Up" got a whole new meaning with the forklift operator Jesus.

I feel seen. I've been a forklift operator for almost 15 years and this is the first time Drawfee has mentioned me specifically. I'm sure there are others who watch Drawfee, but I think I'm the one they were talking about. 30:15

“The cosmic entity that I am a harbinger of has judged you and found you wanting” goes so hard

Within a week of turning 40, I got a targeted ad on Facebook for one of these t-shirts that started out "This old man was born in May." Bastards.

Uh, just so you know, that’s not, that’s not us. I mean, that’s not… actually you got it wrong it’s actually a crocodile that’s not alligators. That one that ate those twelve children? That was an alligator that was not a crocodile we would never- I mean they would never do that. They would never in, uh, in a million years. We don’t, I mean they don’t… uh they’re not even… *sigh*

Having operated several forklifts and having a license for it, I can say that the kind of power and prestige that comes with said job is unmatched. You should fear us.

As someone who was once a certified forklift operator, I can confirm that my skull did in fact burst into blue flames upon arriving to work at the warehouse everyday. I don’t miss it

the 4 genders: funny dog, weird cat, pretzel, & soup

Instead of asking myself whether it's more of an ADHD or autism day, gonna start labelling them either weird dog or funny cat

34:45 no offense but Julia specifically would never. She could have all the free assets in the world and she'd still be breaking her back in the background mines, designing a logo for a fictional brand of kitchen appliances

I can see this challenge mutating into one that's basically someone makes a character based on a real hyper-specific t-shirt and then someone else has to try to draw/write what they think the shirt had said

You can tell Nathan drew alligators, because you're supposed to never smile at a crocodile, and you can't help smiling at these guys 😄🐊

"Get in the forklift, Shinji, or Rei will have to move the pallets again."

I like how the first shirt starts with "you're talking to" but it's written on the back of the t-shirt

I'm dying over the shift from Jim being a lonely guy that judges people to him being the only thibg saving us from Skinny

the "editor's hyperspecific tshirt" at 2:20 tickled me WAY too hard and i would love if drawfee made a weirdly specific tshirt in that style 🤣 edit: i'm finding out that they did and i'm devastated i dont have one

can't believe Nathan is back from his cats 2019 workers strike!

I need a tshirt with a pile of Nathan-alligators on it. They’re so PLUMP and HAPPY 🤣💕🐊

As a REAL *FORKLIFT OPERATOR* I can confirm that the moment we get our license we burst into blue flame and shed our skin. Unfortunately it's not covered under worker's comp.

Now I wanna see what character they'd get outta the Lorem Ipsum Orange shirt

I remember Jacob operating a forklift in that weird forklift dystopia game on SSS and several people claiming to be real forklift operators commented they were very stressed watching him.

31:21 I need a shirt that says "I only became a *~forklift operator~* because my ❤❤❤dad❤❤❤ was such a *LEGENDARY* one, but I'll never live up to his **legacy!**

nathan reacting to the forklift shirt is a strong contender for new Best Nathan Laugh

Pretzel is something uniquely undefinable in a specific way; soup is something uniquely undefinable in a general way.

Nathan’s shirt is an entire Ric Flair promo. It literally has Ric Flair in it. Holding the Alligators down is a reference to Ric Flair wearing alligator skin boots.

Every time Nathan has a big laugh, an angel gets their wings

Jacob "I think I would really like operating a forklift" everybody does, until the real operator shows up and starts making you feel real foolish

I don't know how Karina's "country boys make do" went unnoticed

As an alligator, who is also a licensed forklift operator, I feel that I’ve been fiercely misrepresented in this Drawfee Program video.

I used to be a forklift operator. Eventually that's all anybody saw me as and the only thing I was considered to be good at. It got to a point where I refused to renew my forklift license and quit my job to become a professional gardener. I'm alot happier now.

I've definitely worked with some guys who thought they were forklift operators, but based on their accident rate, I don't think the real forklift operator was there.

i choose to believe that everyone is a forklift operator until the real one shows up because when he gets there he instantly revokes your certification

I just want a whole picture of the happy, chubby alligators

Nathan is still suffering the effects of the April Fool's time portal, clearly some of that old Drawfee energy came back with him lol

I'm somewhat disappointed that Julia's drawing didn't involve the real forklift operator performing surgery on a forklift. 😂

I love a Nathan giggle-fit. As someone who used to operate a forklift, that one tickled me too.

Jacob's fear of being corrected by deep language lore is so valid, been there done that so many times and it never goes away once one is advanced enough in linguistics (even after taking attitude adjustments as they come to overall handle such situations better)

Why did the part about being a deeply lonely person and trying to connect with people using hyper-specific t shirts make me so emotional? Relatable tbh.

I would definitely read a webcomic about forklift operators in whatever is the genre of “military school for pilots of giant sentient robots” you know what I’m talking about, right? There are a few forklifts (and they are all just the same asset in different colors) and all the students train to become the best operators, but the forklifts choose the students who will operate them themselves and they develop a bond with each other and there is this one forklift who has been refusing to choose an operator for years and when the plucky new underdog student arrives, it inexplicably chooses him and basically it’s Voltron, but simultaneously better and worse. And it’s forklifts.

i love the sisyphean implications of gym guy and skinny's relationship

I was a forklift operator and let m me tell you, it's not hard. If I remember correctly the first time I ever drove one was on my first day on the job... during the test to get my operator's license. They literally took me to a place, told me where the lift controls were, and said "drive it around, lift some stuff, & don't drop anything".

40:23 Left side guy looks like Spheal when he was younger. Maybe, perhaps, the reason Spheal is so bent out of shape, is because he pissed off The Forklift Operator

21:58 Actually, did you know that gym’s have something known as an Extra Apostrophe’s Rule? In 1572 a nobleman named Jim Apostrophe (pronounced Ah-poster-off) rescued a man from a huge fire, but Sir Apostrophe actually later died from smoke inhalation. The man he rescued was actually Graham Grammers (the man who created grammar), and when he learned about his death, he created the Extra Apostrophe’s Rule in his honour. Then when gym’s were invented they adopted the rule as well!

It should be no surprise Jesus a master forklift operator; There is a whole song about how he lifts you up so that you can stand on mountains.

Nathan's laughter at Julia's shirt truly digivolved my digimon

22:40 "Ugh, you don't know the people that this guy..." "Has made up."

6:39 "thats why I call most animals funny dogs" - that its how they approached drawing foreign animals in the middle ages 😂

David's (presumably) hyper specific screen is very good

i hope everyone harbors immeasurable appreciation for the editor who put their own specific t-shirt text at the beginning

Suggesting again because I think it’s the best idea I’ve ever had in my 26 years of breathing: You four spend a lot of time together! But do y’all know what y’all look like? I’d love to see a speed draw of y’all drawing each other without any reference! Especially Julia!

places five pallets around me in a pentagram, chanting: "I AM SO EXCITED TO PUT THESE PALLETS AWAY WITH NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE OPERATING THE FORKLIFT"

If I had a nickel for every tiime that Jacob drew an impossibly strong man by making him hunched over so we could see how incredibly tiny his head is between his shoulders, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.

Actually, Jacob, in that particular instance of its/it’s usage, the correct one is in fact i’ts. Hope this helps! 🙂

Jacob was right, this episode was 100% classic Drawfee Energy. I was in doubt until Nathan's laugh at 27:50

He may not be a true fork, but he’s the fork who lifted up

David's personalised hyper-specific tshirt in the intro caught me off-guard and absolutely cracked me up. The blue light of screens has mutated my body too!

Nathan just dying at the reveal of that last shirt gives me life.

These alligators are freakin' adorable.

Honestly making a tshirt like this for an OC is way better than a character sheet, especially if the character lives in a world where tshirts dont really exist

David that title card is genuinely incredible, I love you

"I'm vegan- I never exercise- I still watch Survivor and I will not apologize-" Poetry is alive.

I am technically certified to operate a forklift, and i approve of this episode of Drawfee. Good job with the Gators, the Skinny, and the Boys lifting forks! Love your content.

Driving a forklift can be pretty fun! It’s satisfying to just pick things up and put them down somewhere else. The less fun stuff comes from the hours and the constant pressure to be faster.

Good news! These do appear to be alligators! The fourth lower tooth isn't noticeably bigger than the others :D (Though, alligators are technically a kind of crocodile - I've been watching a lot of Clint's Reptiles lately lol)

Nathan's Shirt is just a Ric Flair shirt based on his promo from the early WCW days which having artist draw a character based on Wrestling Promos isn't a bad idea.

David's hyper specific in-video episode description is gold 👌

Those actually were alligators, good job! The way I remember it is alligators have round snouts like a "C," and crocodiles have pointy snouts like an "A."

Ric Flair in his hay day could hold so many alligators down.

The way the lore built up for Gym and Skinny was magnificent.

As a forklift operator, I can confirm the secret discord channel is real and it is bumping

2:18 I have learned more about David from this frame than from any other video

Suggestion: There are many characters based on the 7 Deadly Sins, how about characters based on the 7 Heavenly Virtues. Or Suggestion: Draw Horror Icons as Magical Girls.

Skinny's favorite song is definitely the Eddie Murphy classic "Party All The Time"

Weirdest one I saw was "I never expected to be the mother in law of an awesome son in law, but here I am living the dream"

I can't believe Julia drew a much better Bobby Hill without intending or trying to draw Bobby Hill

Okay I've worked warehouses a lot over the years and I can explain the forklift operator reference. Basically, you've got three kinds of forklift operators. The ones who think they know how to drive a forklift, the ones you can drive a forklift, and the ones who could perform surgery with a forklift. It's a matter of confidence versus skill, and the way it usually works is this. Most people in this situation will eventually learn how to drive a forklift and it's fine. They are the normal ones. There are however people who believe that they could drive a forklift despite all evidence to the contrary, even if they've never used one in their life. Somehow these people often end up in supervisory roles. They are the worst people to be around when a forklift is being used because they are a danger to themselves and others. Then there is the last kind, the dudes who are really good with a forklift. It sounds simple, but in a warehouse you can end up with bizarre situations or things being arranged weirdly either in the warehouse or coming off of a truck or having to go into a truck in which having a great amount of control of the machine is actually really important to your job. When a lot of finesse or finagling is necessary sometimes you just call that one guy you know over in the other department who knows how to do damn near everything with that machine. That said I've never seen anybody wear a t-shirt about it. It's not something you really make a big fuss over. The guys who wear those shirts on ironically are probably just weird, crazy, and work with a hangover every other morning.

YAYYYYY NATHEN IS BACK! The show feels weird without him sometimes.

I love the sneaky David lore drop

18:24 -- Bane in his teenage angst years. "You think the dark gym is your ally. You merely adopted the dark gym; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the flashy life until I was already a man, by then it was nothing but blinding."

Alligators and Caimans have a C-shaped snoot, Crocodiles have an A-shaped snoot with a toof nook, and Gharials have a bong-shaped snoot

Speed Draw Suggestion: Finishing off *each others CHILDHOOD drawings* Similar to the 'Finishing each others line art' episode. But adding in the old 'Redrawing our childhood drawings' episodes. Interpreting each others childhood scribbles into full artistic beauty ~☆

THE EDITOR T SHIRT INSERT WAS GOLD. I love you

I absolutely was not ready for that last shirt, I'm actually in tears

Absolute baller of an editing on this one David you always do a great job but this one chef's kiss

Aaaactually there are actually forklift operating competitions… Also as one of the few female certified forklift operators at my job I resonate deeply with that shirt and Julia’s interpretation

That first one is THE NATURE BOY RIC FLAIR! WWWWOOOOOOO!!!!

thanks for the input David "ass kickin editor" Editor

As someone who worked with forklifts (not a forklift operator) in the past that third shirt rings true

i unironically say yipee a LOT. in professional settings

The fact that Ric Flair now exists in the Drawfee universe, has shaken me to my very core.

As someone who did hiring for a staffing company for a while- I saw a lot of fellas who worked mid-level blue collar jobs and these types of shirts were their jam. I was tasked with hiring many a forklift operator and heard rumors about employees who weren’t good operators. The manufacturing/warehouse field is a whole new world 😶

This episode is shirting with disaster

20:51 Skinny was born in a bathtub And grew so incredibly thin That even the end of an eyedropper Sucked. Him. In. Now Skinny never knew any questions And Skinny never looked at lights But Skinny sold something Every single night

I have a friend who's forklift certified, and for Christmas I got her a t-shirt with a stick man dragging people with a forklift. And lemme tell ya, there are hundreds of these forklift shirts.

I'm here to continue to suggest my weirdly specific suggestion that: artists draw Muppets as Soulsborne Bosses/characters!
